When your "nice" people will always hate and say anything just to flap they lips but true Lupe fans know whats good. We the "true" fans truely love you so keep doing your thing. Side projects and all because their hot!

Lupe you are the man. I love everything you put out. Don't care if its rock, rap, or whatever. I say just do your thing and I'll love it. I give you props for putting out everything that you have. Good work.

color me grateful. its 22 mins that could take more than 22 days straight the figure out completely. Packt up like sardines in a crush tin box, and i only say that to reference Radiohead and also Lup's alt rock tendencies. oh and the rosa acosta...well verse, is superb

Man maybe we're just greedy Lu. Nobody else is killing it like you did on EOTS. Guess that's why we wanted more lol. I don't know man. Most of us who hate current mainstream hip hop rely extra heavily on you man. I know I definitely wanted more. But hey, it was free, and I'm just a beggar being choosy. I can't wait for LASERS!

Glad this is straighten up! Tired of people asking when your next album coming out and calling you a "sell out" because of the Solar midnite track. I guess they are not true hip hop heads because last time I've check Run DMC and other artist used instruments rather than using synthesizers.

FINALLY! lol..man the rumors are amazing these days..now i do have a question..why was lup.e.n.d. said on ur last album? im guessin life took a turn and opportunities presented themselves ..anyway fnf up man..congratulations on your success as always

I think it's great and yes alot of ppl don't understand that artist sometimes get asked to do a song for a movie soundtrack but it has nothing to do with your upcoming cd or a new single,,,Keep up the good work sweetie!

Why would anyone think Lupe is a "sell-out" for doing an awesome single for New Moon? The movie wasn't awful and I thought the idea was to expand and advance... If people can't get that, oh well. Gotta keep it moving. Hopefully they'll get the message soon. Can't wait for LASERS!
>>FNF

Thanks, man. I appreciate you clearing that whole 'Japanese Cartoon' thing up for me; because I didn't know what to think. By the way, I love the band. The style is dope. Can't wait to hear something new from them and you. Oh, and I bought "The Twilight Saga: New Moon Soundtrack" when it came out and I love 'Solar Midnite'. Forget all of those closed minded dudes/dudettes who expect an artist to stick to one genre because that's all they expect from that artist. Versatility is what makes music what it is. Beautiful. Keep it up.

it is a fiasco when mister FIASCO has to give an explanation for doing what he loves and what the ppl love hearing , music shouldn't have to be explained since it's heard , "solar midnight" is a point in your carreer , WE DO UNDERSTAND peace
